Jonathan David Bishop, 2 1/2, of Leicester, was taken home by the Lord on Saturday, April 5, 2003. His paternal grandfather, James "Jim" Bishop, preceded him in death.

He was a member of Abernethy United Methodist Church. Heaven has received another angel from Earth today. We pray for strength and peace, and especially for acceptance of a life cut so short when he had so much more to give. We will yearn for Heaven even more so now, knowing that Jonathan is laying in God's beautiful gardens.

Jonathan's memory will be kept alive through his parents David and Laura Bishop and siblings Brendan and Stephen Hunt; grandparents Sara Bishop and Francis "Bob" and Clara Metcalf; "Poppa" Larry Fowler; uncle Neil Metcalf and wife Beverly; godparents Larry Moss and Katrina Roberts; special aunt and uncle Aaron and Tonya Hunt and her children Crystal and Chad Cogburn, and extended family and friends.

Burial:Cremated, Ashes given to family or friend.Specifically: North Carolina
